Slow, Political organization that can't make the tough decisions

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company does provide International opportunities for those people who are mobile and open to various parts of the world; that's a big plus for some. It also has a recognizable brand, which means something to others. And no one really works too much for long periods of time, so there is work-life balance.

Cons

The company has a very Political culture that is driven by people who just want to protect their turf. And maybe because it is a German company (maybe not) it is really bad at making fast decisions because Leaders have little managerial courage. It's also a silo'd organization, yet HQ in Germany thinks they know everything (they don't). And, from a people perspective, the HR organization is a joke.
